What

A

scientist

named

George

Washington

Carver

answered

that

question,

over

and over again. We should say thanks

to him for more than 300 __46__.

When Carver was born in 1864, he was a slave(

奴

隶

) on a farm in Missouri. Later, he got freedom. As

a teenager, he worked on a farm and __47__ finish

high

school.

At

the

age

of

30,

he

became

the

first

black

student

at

the

college

in

lowa.

Several

years

later, he took a job at a college in Alabama, where he

worked until his __48__ in 1943.

Carver studied agriculture, the science of farming.

His __49__ made huge improvements in farming in

the southern United States.

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

Carver

studied

peanuts.

He

knew

that

the

south

couldn’t

grow

just

cotton.

Planting

cotton year after year wore out the soil and made it

useless.

Carver

learned

that

if

farmers

planted

cotton one year and peanuts the next, the soil __50__

healthy.

To encourage this practice, Carver thought of new

uses

for

the

peanut.

Would

you

like

to

try

peanut

and raisin ice cream? How about using peanuts as a

kind

of

__51__

to

make

shampoo?

Perhaps

you

would prefer to make paint from peanuts, or maybe

you

would

like

to

bake

with

peanut

flour.

Glue?

Paper?

Rubber?

The

list

goes

on

and

on.

He

also

thought of __52__ uses for pecans(

山核桃

) and other

nuts.

Carver __53__ little from most of his inventions.

He didn’t feel that it was right to sell his ideas. He

gave

them

freely

to

help

farmers

and

fellow

scientists. Carver’s life is one that we could all use as

an example.

VI. Reading comprehension

A. Choose the best answer

A

nationwide

survey

released

earlier

this

year

said

an

average

Chinese

adult

read

less

than

eight

books

in

2015,

among

which

4.58

were

paper

books

and

3.26

e-books.

With

digital

books

becoming

more

popular,

many

people

would

find it hard to remember the last time they sat down

in a bookstore and enjoyed a quiet moment.

But this does not mean that bookstores are losing

their

customers.

To

lure

more

readers,

bookstores

are

now

bigger,

more

beautiful

and

grander.

Here

are some of them.

Walking

into

a

Zhongshuge

bookstore

is

like

entering a sea of books, above the ceiling overhead,

Zhongshuge

is

known for its beautiful designs. The brand now has

chains in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou.
